Like many Red Sox fans, Joe Ryan was among those who were deceived by false social media posts that he had been traded to Boston prior to Thursday’s deadline. The Twins pitcher admitted that he thought he was on the move after seeing multiple social media posts from verified outlets that said that the Red Sox acquired him in a trade.

The Boston Red Sox held onto Jarren Duran at the trade deadline, but there's a good chance they will explore trades again in the offseason later this year.

The Minnesota Twins traded 10 players at this year’s deadline. And while Joe Ryan wasn’t one of them, he thought he was.
